    The Effect of Mindfulness-Based Sexual Counseling on Sexual Distress, Attitude Toward Sexuality, and Body Image Concerns in Pregnant Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Wiley, 2023) Cengizhan, Sidika Ozlem; Ucar, Tuba
    IntroductionSexual distress during pregnancy can cause a negative attitude toward sexuality during pregnancy, and this can be seen especially in conjunction with body image concerns. This study was conducted to determine the effects of mindfulness-based sexual counseling (MBSC) on sexual distress, attitudes toward sexuality, and body image concerns in pregnant women. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted in a sample of women who experienced sexual distress presenting to a Healthy Living Center in eastern Turkey. Women (N = 134) were randomly assigned to receive a 4-week, 8-session counseling program based on mindfulness (experimental group; n = 67) or treatment as usual (control group; n = 67). The primary outcome of the study, sexual distress, was assessed using the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised. Secondary outcomes included attitude toward sexuality, assessed using the Attitude Scale toward Sexuality during Pregnancy, and body image concerns, using the Body Image Concerns during Pregnancy Scale. Outcomes were compared postintervention, correcting for baseline using analysis of covariance. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04900194). ResultsMean scores for sexual distress (7.69 vs 17.36; P < .001) and body image concerns (57.76 vs 73.88; P < .001) decreased significantly in the mindfulness group compared with the control group. Similarly, mean scores for attitudes toward sexuality significantly improved in the mindfulness group compared with the control group (133.52 vs 105.78; P < .05). DiscussionMBSC is a promising strategy to help women experiencing sexual distress during pregnancy to reduce their levels of sexual distress, raise their positive attitudes toward sexuality, and lower their body image concerns. Larger clinical trials of MBSC are recommended to support introduction of MBSC into clinical practice.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Guney, Esra; Cengizhan, Sidika Ozlem; Okyay, Esra Karatas; Bal, Zeynep; Ucar, Tuba
    Objective: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a live online Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program in preventing distress, anxiety and childbirth fear in pregnant women diagnosed with COVID19.Material and methods: Designed as a randomized-controlled trial, this study was performed with the participation of pregnant women who were diagnosed with COVID-19. The sample comprised 84 pregnant women, including 42 in the experimental group and 42 in the control group. The online MBSR program composed of eight sessions and lasting four weeks was provided to the pregnant women in the experimental group, whereas such an initiative was not provided to the control group. The data were collected via the Revised Prenatal Distress Questionnaire (NuPDQ), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and the Childbirth Attitudes Questionnaire (CAQ). Results: After the MBSR program, the mean NuPDQ, BAI and CAQ scores of the pregnant women in the experimental group were significantly lower than the mean scores of those in the control group (p < 0.001).Conclusion: The online MBSR program may be utilized to reduce the distress, anxiety and childbirth fear levels of pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19. By using the MBSR program, health professionals might improve the psychological well-being of pregnant women diagnosed with COVID-19.

    Psychometric evaluation of the healthy aging instrument in older adults
    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2021) Yildirim, Hilal; Isik, Kevser; Cengizhan, Sidika Ozlem
    This methodological study was conducted for the psychometric evaluation of the Healthy Aging Instrument in older adults. The study was carried out with 430 older adults registered at two family health centers. The results of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy and the Bartlett's test, which was used to determine the suitability of the measurement tool for factor analysis, were found as .83 and .000, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha value of the instrument was found as .88. As a result of the construct validity analysis, the scale consisted of 8 factors with 31 items. The Healthy Aging Instrument had sufficient internal consistency reliability and construct validity. The results were considered suitable for a scale adapted to Turkish. As the study is limited to the region where the scale was applied, further psychometric tests should be performed in different countries considering cultural varieties.
